I've been trying a GUB build today.  It's failed rather strangely.  At first 
I got:

Command barfed: cd /home/gub/NewGub/gub/downloads/lilypond/git && git fetch 
git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git 
stable/2.20:refs/heads/git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git/stable/2.20

I thought that might be down to a network problem, so I tried the network 
and it looked OK so I ran the make again and this time I got:

Any thoughts of where to go from here?
